"Lu Yuan, I am very curious. Why did His Highness insist on moving you into the Greencloud Pavilion? Could it be that among all the sisters, only you are the one that His Highness dotes on the most?”
After everyone was dismissed, the four of them did not return to their rooms to rest. Instead, they went to the pavilion in the garden.
Although Lu Yuan's body was weak, his eyes were unusually sharp. He raised his eyes and looked at the Blue Luan without admitting defeat.
"Why must Lady Qingluan come to the Green Garden to question me? Wouldn't it be better if you went to His Highness and asked him?”
She was certain that the Green Luan would not dare to ask Chu Yixuan, so she said that.
The Blue Luan was furious. It looked at Lvyuan fiercely, but it was powerless to retort. It could only swallow its anger into its stomach.
Zi Dai was calm and used her eyes to signal the Blue Luan not to speak. Then, she slowly walked to Lu Yuan's side and sized her up.
"I didn't expect that Sister Lu Yuan's body looks weak, but her ambition is not small. Could it be that you think that after you move into the Greencloud Pavilion, the mistress of the Imperial Residence will be you?”
Zidai was the one who entered the Imperial Residence the most out of the four of them. Although they were about the same age, the other three would usually call her elder sister respectfully.
Lu Yuan lowered his head and laughed coldly. He did not say anything.
Zi Dai thought that she had really hit Lvyuan, so she took advantage of the victory and continued to speak while looking at her.
"Sister Lu Yuan should remember what she was doing before she entered the prince's mansion. How could a person who showed her face in those dirty places every day to attract guests be qualified to be the mistress of the prince's mansion?”
Lu Yuan gritted her teeth hard. Zi Dai's words made her easily recall those things in the past, and her face became even paler.
"At that time, the Green Residence was also forced by life. Moreover, the Green Residence only sold their skills and did not sell their bodies. Why did Sister have to make the Green Residence sound so dirty?”
She was originally just a performer in a brothel. Later, Xuan Wangye took a fancy to her. From then on, she left the abyss of suffering. However, she did not expect that she would not have a good life in this wangfu.
She was originally as pure as a blank piece of paper, but the longer she stayed in the Imperial Residence, the more she knew what she had to do to survive.
"Acting?" Zi Dai sneered in disdain." You make it sound nice."”
When the Blue Luan saw that Lvyuan, who had forced her into a speechless state, was at a disadvantage, she secretly rejoiced in her heart.
At that time, Siqing stood at the side and did not say anything. She was a person of few words and had an indifferent personality. She had never cared about anything. Seeing the three of them fighting openly and secretly for her favor in front of her, she only felt tired.
"Siqing remembered that she still has something to do, so she'll take her leave first.”
There was no expression on her face, and her appearance was not outstanding. She did not know why his highness would like her.
"I've been in the wang fu for a year now, but I don't cry or laugh every day. I don't have any expression, just like a living dead.”
Zi Dai looked at Si Qing's departing back with disdain. Since she had married into the Xuan Prince's mansion, why was there a need to pretend to be virtuous?
"What's wrong with Siqing? She hasn't spoken more than ten words to me in the past year!”
The Blue Luan also pursed her lips. Shouldn't they be working together to scheme against Situ Mantian and force her to step down? Why did she always look as if this had nothing to do with her?
Lvyuan did not say anything, but as she watched Si Qing leave, her clear eyes seemed to be deep in thought.
"Lian Xin, how do you feel?" Are you feeling better?"
Situ Mantian was holding a bottle of Chinese medicine in her hand. It tasted bitter, and every time Lian Xin drank it, her face would be filled with pain. Fortunately, good medicine tasted bitter, and she felt much better now.
"Miss, I'm already much better. Don't worry about me.”
Lian Xin looked at Situ Manyao, who was sitting by the bed, with a faint smile on her face. She was flattered that her mistress had been guarding by the bed the entire time.
"Lian Xin, you don't hate me?"
Situ Mantiao blew on the soup in her hand, then placed it on the table and looked at Lian Xin seriously.
"I misunderstood you and didn't trust you enough. I never expected you to suffer so much for me.”
She apologized to her seriously.
"It's okay, Miss."
Lian Xin didn't know what to say. When she watched her miss being framed by his highness, only she knew the helplessness she felt.
As she spoke, Lian Xin's eyes slowly turned red again. Warm tears filled her eyes. She was a child to begin with, not to mention after experiencing such a thing.
Situ Manyao felt very gratified. Fortunately, she didn't trust the wrong person and didn't disappoint her.
"Lianxin, don't cry. We have to be strong and know how to protect ourselves, understand?”
There was a certain determination in her voice, as if it really had a calming effect. Lian Xin's emotions also slowly calmed down.
"Miss, perhaps we should leave this place!”
Previously, the young miss had mentioned to her that she wanted to leave the prince's residence. At that time, she did not know the reason why she insisted on leaving. Now, it seemed that it was very necessary to leave.
"When I find an opportunity, I will definitely take you away from here.”
Situ Mantian sighed softly. The expression on her face was too deep to tell if she was happy or angry.
"Madam, it's time to apply the medicine.”
Just as the two of them were feeling sad, a servant in blue stood at the door.
Situ Manyao finally remembered. Lian Xin didn't take the medicine. She nodded and took the ointment from his hand. After feeding Lian Xin the medicine, he gave her the medicine to heal the wound on Lian Xin's back.
"Lian Xin, when you are in pain, just scream and Miss will loosen her grip.”
Situ Mantiao frowned and reminded her carefully.
"Alright."
The two of them were very quiet in the room. It was so quiet that they could only hear each other's breathing.
The ointment was cool. It felt especially comfortable to apply something on her body. Lian Xin lay on the bed and felt drowsy. Suddenly, she heard Situ Manyao's voice in a daze.
"Lian Xin, thank you."
Thank you for protecting me despite your own safety.
It seemed that she had really thought too highly of herself. She had told her before that if she encountered any danger, she must not care about herself. Protecting her own life was more important.
Now, it seemed that he could not do that at all.
Actually, when she was in danger, she still hoped that someone would be worried about her.
That way, she wouldn't feel lonely, and she wouldn't feel that she was always alone.
"Miss…"
When Situ Mantiao heard Lian Xin call out to him, he thought that she was not asleep. He looked up in surprise and saw that her eyes were slightly closed, but her brows were raised. She must have slept uncomfortably.
Situ Mantiao sighed with relief.
It was good that he was fine.
However, he didn't know what the second half of Lian Xin's words were.
Miss, even if Lian Xin has to do her best, she must ensure Miss 'safety.
"Wangfei, Wangye is waiting for you in the study."”
During dinner, Chu Yixuan's servant came to report.
Situ Mantian frowned as expected. She turned to look at Lian Xin who was leaning on the bed and then looked away.
"Why is Your Highness looking for me?"
Seeing that the servant was also at a loss, he laughed and said,"Could it be that he wants me to get certified or something?”
"Wangye didn't say, he only asked this one to come over to wangfei to deliver a message.”
The servant looked at Wang Fei nervously. If she refused to go over, Wang Ye would not give him a good face.
"Miss!"
Lian Xin called out to Situ Mantian, indicating for her not to go over.
Situ Mantian lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Then, she looked at the servant waiting at the side and smiled at Lian Xin.
"Lian Xin, you eat first. Miss will be back soon.”
With that, he followed the servant to Chu Yixuan's study.
"You were looking for me?"
He stood there with his hands behind his back. Situ Manyao saw his back from afar. She narrowed her eyes and slowly walked toward him.
Chu Yixuan turned around when he heard the voice. He glanced at Situ Mantian from head to toe and then looked away.
"The Empress Dowager has summoned us into the palace. You must remember not to speak nonsense, or else I won't be able to protect you.”
The Empress Dowager must have heard of the play he directed last time and was now looking for someone to go to the palace to denounce him.
Situ Manyao looked at him in disbelief and sneered,"Are you saying that a weasel is being visited by a chicken?”
If Chu Yixuan was really that good, how could he have acted like that last time?
Chu Yixuan didn't care about her mockery at all and just ordered the people around him.
"Bring wangfei down to dress up.”
"Yes, sir!"
Situ Manyao was born beautiful and her skin was very fair. She did not want anyone to touch her, so she only asked the servants to comb her hair into a bun and change her clothes before entering the palace with Chu Yixuan.
Chu Yixuan still didn't seem to have reacted. The fragrance of the woman beside him made his heart flutter.
She had to admit that she looked good dressed like this.
Especially that pair of watery eyes, which were like a deep pool that could easily suck people in.
He could not help but turn to look at her again, his eyes filled with confusion.
Was this woman the one who murdered Yuqing?
Situ Mantian realized that Chu Yixuan seemed to be secretly watching her and felt disgusted. They were sitting in the same carriage, so she quietly moved a little to the side to create some distance between them.
Even the careless Chu Yixuan noticed Situ Manyao's little action. His eyes darkened and he clenched his hands tightly by his side to look away.
It was already late, and there were no longer many people in the market. It was no longer as lively as it was during the day, just like the silence in the carriage.
Situ Mantiao lifted the small curtain by the side of the carriage and squinted at the sky. He thought to himself,'One day, you will be able to live freely under this sky.'
